Windows 7 - pricing, releasing date, trial

| | Comments (2)

windows 7 is micro$oft's next release of operating system set to replace vista. according to bbc news, windows 7 is set to be released on Oct 22, 2009, and in UK, it'll cost £79.99 for an upgrade version.

if you would like try it for free, grab the release candidate by end July 09. it's recommended NOT to install on a system that you're using currently using for work/play/study. i've tried installing it on a kohjinsha sh, and it's running OK, except the cpu is not fast enough so you'll need some patience for things to load. but it's installable, runable and usable, quite surprised (:

and btw, the worldwide upgrade option programme is due to begin only on 26 June, which means those pple who bought their computers some two weeks ago at pc show missed their free upgrade chance? hmm ... ...

Screen capture software - FastStone Capture V5.3

| | Comments (0)

If you need a FREE screen capture software, you'll love FastStone Capture after trying it out. Version 5.3 is able to:

  • Capture Active window
  • Capture a/an window/object
  • Capture a freehand region
  • Capture a scrolling window (this is what I find MOST useful)

and save it to six difference destinations. And in the "Options", you can specify the dot-pitch of the screen capture, the destination folder, auto-startup with windows etc.

Logo - my first programming language

| | Comments (0)

in the midst of writing a (next-to-meaningless) term paper and my mind drifted off (not surprising) and the word "Logo" came to mind.

gotten this off wikipedia:

Logo is a computer programming language used for functional programming. It is an easier to read adaptation and dialect of the Lisp language; some have called it "Lisp without the parentheses." It was created for educational use, more so for constructivist teaching, by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert. Today, it is known mainly for its "turtle graphics", but it also has significant facilities for handling lists, files, I/O, and recursion. Logo can be used to teach most computer science concepts, as UC Berkeley Lecturer Brian Harvey does in his "Computer Science Logo Style" trilogy.

here's a sample of logo's code.
to get a copy of the berkeley's logo, visit Brian Harvey's home page or George Mills' MSWLogo page.
